Just a quick question...

How do I get around the C.A.S hitting the fire wall? I was just going to move the engine forward 10mm or so.
I know there are people who have done this conversion before. Id realy like to know what they did.

I think that manifold is going to be the eye catcher of the engine bay.

What are the calipers and rotors in the picture.

Are you installing them on the starion - do tell.

[JAS]

Kiwistar,

The calipers and rotors are off a Lexus LS400. 4 pot alloy calipers and 310mm rotors. And yes Im going to put them on my starion. I had wanted to keep everything Mitsubishi but I got these at a really good price. And the rotors are bigger than GTO rotors.

Yeah Jas looking at your pic and your engine looks great ive got a qustion for ya too. with your timeing belt how did u set up the idler? ive nearly finshed doing my engine but i need to find out how to install the idler so i can run my belt and what belt did u use?

[JAS]

Yeah I havent done that yet either. Its just a matter of changing the front cover,(to a vr4 one) the alloy bit that houses the oil pump etc to fit the tensioner. The idler justs bolts on. Just cut the engine mount off it.

Hope thats what you needed
